Acharya Prashant: Your path, cannot be somebody else’s path. No, general method, nothing general at all, can ever be suitable to you. You are what you are because you are evolved, programmed, brought up and conditioned in the way that you are. Each of us, is located at a different point in existence. This point is a point, away, from our home, the center. And because the points are different, so our actions will also be different.

The right action, must necessarily, be different for different persons.

What is right for one, cannot be right for the other.

The method that suits one, cannot suit the other.

To a dog, only that which is suitable to a dog is right and to a swine, only that which is suitable to a swine is right. Hence, the right action cannot be a set of principles. Hence, the whole premise of morality, is hollow. Morality deals with prescriptions, with commandments, do this, do that.

What Jesus is saying is – what is right for you, depends on, what you take yourself to be. Your way towards home, depends on, how badly you have lost yourself. Depends on, where you think you are.

There can be no, one general way or one general right action. But we have a tendency out of morality to label, a few things as right, a few things as wrong. A few paths as profound, a few other ways, as profane. Now if you suggest your so-called profound paths, to a dog, you would only be doing injustice to the dog. To a dog, only a dog’s way is appropriate. To you, only that is appropriate, which is for you and that can arise only from the depths of your awareness. Hence, the right teacher can never prescribe or command.

He can never tell you, what to do. He will never be a provider or instructor of action. Instead, he will be an illuminator. He will help remove, the obstacles in front of a light, so that you can see better.

And when you see better, then you know on your own, the step to take, the direction to move.

He will not tell you, move towards the left. You are in a dark room, he will just switch on the light. He has faith, he knows that you and he are one. He knows that intelligence, is greatly available to you and if its available to you, you must be the one who must live, his or her life, as per, divine intelligence.

Listener: Second part says that if we, violate this principle, then you cause suffering to them.

AP: If you do this, then you cause suffering to them and if you, spread suffering, then remember, that you and the universe are one.

The moment you cause suffering, it is to yourself that the suffering has been caused.

If you give, something to someone that is not appropriate for him, you will face the effects. You will not know how, but you will have to face. Remember, that in suggesting something inappropriate to yourself or the other, you have shown that you do not know what the appropriate, what the right one is. And if you do not know the right one, for the other, will you know what is right for yourself?

You have, prescribed a path, to him, that is so unsuitable to him. But you believe in prescriptions. It helps your ego. I am the prescriber. You have prescribed something to him. You do not know that it is not right for him.

If you do not know what is not right for him, surely, firstly you do not know what is right for you.

Each one of us deserves the Truth. So, we made a conscious choice: to keep our work open for all, regardless of whether they can afford to donate.

A tremendous body of our work – around 10,000 videos, 3000 articles, and more – has been made freely available to all on the internet. Just one piece of statistic to put in perspective the magnitude of our charitable work: Around a million minutes of video content is consumed daily by our viewers on YouTube alone, absolutely for free.

This would not be possible without financial contributions from our audiences, who support our work from around the world.

We have upheld our independence in the face of the disintegration of genuine spirituality – with more and more contemporary spiritual content being just disguised commercialism, consumptionism, and egoism. We refuse to belong to any lineage or tradition, we refuse to identify with any ideology or community, nor do we pander to base sentiments to gain followership or financial assistance. This enables us to freely say the truth without inhibition.

Your financial support has meant we can continue to keep bringing you the truth and the undiluted essence of the scriptures. You have supported our independence, and we are grateful.

We need your support so we can keep bringing the truth to you. Any amount contributed by you towards our noble cause is valuable.

We need your support so we can keep bringing the truth to you. Support us from as little as $5 – it only takes a minute.
